Statement Of Intent

My logo represents Jellyfish Surf Company which sells products used by anyone, such as beach type items like sandals called "Fish-Flop Jellies" with a slogan like" The only jelly between your toes" and the logo will be on all the products. We will also sell snorkeling equipment, wearing apparel and items for younger children like glow in the dark Bubbles and neon glow in the dark jewelry. With every purchase we will give a small box of Jellyfish shaped gummy candy  in different neon colors.

I researched my logo on Google under best logos and jellyfish logos and logos jellyfish.

Assignment 1

This is how I cropped my original to use for my banner
Original 

The top left collage is the first collage I did.  I scanned it and  resized it and just took a portion of it in PS to make it the correct size according to the directions and that is banner on the bottom.The digital replication copy I did in Illustrator  is the one on top of  it.  I was really confused as I have never used PS or AI before and all the tools are new to me so I kept using the wrong one and something went wrong then I finally went to the lab and took my time and had some help from Linley and finally got the hang of it. Hopefully I can remember everything for the next project. It was confusing but fun!

Jellyfish

May be same species as the Upside-down  Jellyfish and is found in the Pacific & Indian Oceans
This beautiful jellyfish is called the "Mauve Stinger"  It is found in the Indian, Meditteranean, Northeastern Atlantic & Pacific Oceans.  It glows by producing bioluminescent lights
Jellyfish are really invertebrates and not fish.  Their bodies resemble jelly. Some Jellyfish can be very large where their bell shaped body will reach about three feet and their tentacles can be quite a few feet long.

Upside-down Jellyfish found in the Gulf of Mexico & Caribbean
Jellyfish are related to sea anemones and corals and there are about 200 species or more of jellyfish .

Box Jellyfish are found in tropical waters like the South Pacific and within a few minutes they can kill a person with  just one sting.   One of the only creatures not affected by its sting is the sea turtle who sometimes eats them

I am taking this class because it will enable me to be more efficient in working with Illustrator and Photoshop. This is great because I love photography and art and do not know that much about digital art and how to use this media too well.  This is the first time I've made a blog. The first assignment was confusing at first as I did not have the syllabus printed out. After printing it out and reading it I realized I made my project images the wrong size. I am going to redo the project although I do like it after all.
